Plunkett's Pictures of Norwich and Norfolk: A Commemorative Collection of His Best Photographs (Paperback)
Between the 1930s and his death in 2006, George Plunkett took thousands of photographs of Norwich and Norfolk, producing a fascinating record of the many changes that occurred and capturing places which have since disappeared. With a biographical essay celebrating George's life and love of photography, this commemorative collection of nearly 200 of his very best photographs from the 1930s to the 1960s, includes pictures of Norwich celebrating the Silver Jubilee in 1935 and the Coronation in 1937, the Market Place reconstruction and the building of City Hall, preparations for War, as well as the St. Stephen's Street development and evidence of how the city looked before the Inner Link Road was built. His photography of Norfolk is also recognised, with a selection of sights from around the county which no longer exist.
